The blended rum comes from over 50 hand-picked and rare barrels that are burnt out longer than usual and convinces with its spicy-sweet facets.

Rivière du Mât Arrangé Vanille Rhum comes from the small island of La Rèunion. The base for the spirit is molasses rum, which is refined with fruits and spices from the region after distillation on column stills. The focus of this rum-based spirit is on macerated vanilla beans. The Rivière du Mât distillery, which has existed since 1886, was named after a legend in which a ship that had set out to explore the island off Madagascar ran aground in a riverbed on the island of La Rèunion. Only the mast still protruded from the river, making it known as the Rivière du Mât, the "river of the mast". The mast became the symbolic image of the distillery and resembles the column still that Rivière du Mât uses to distil its Rhum Traditionelle de la Réunion.

Secha de la Silva is owned by William Grand & Sons, who are well-known distillers and traders in the whisky sector.

Five brothers of the Spanish Botran family decided to follow their passion for rum and therefore undertook an adventure to Guatemala together. There they devoted themselves entirely to the production of rum. For the Botran Solera No.18 Rum, rums aged between 5 and 18 years were blended together. The dynamic solera maturation process took place in four different barrels. The bottling is a tribute to Merino Botran, the first of the Botran brothers to move to Guatemala, and is intended to reflect his intransigence and passion for rum.
